Personal Narrative Essay: The First Vietnam War

Improved Essays
Yet again we were wrong as we were mercilessly bashed with wave upon wave of enemy fire. Soon our ammo ran dry and we waited behind a concrete wall and hoped for the planes to come. The enemy soon felt brave enough to charge at us with batons and swords but this was their fatal mistake and we fought back hard. Our strength was godly compared to theirs and we only had to use a single punch to kill a single man. After only a few short minutes a pile of bodies has formed around our concrete wall, the enemy knew that this was a mistake which they shall regret and whoever could flee fled as far as possible away from us. We scavenged the ground in hopes to find weapons and saw multiple pistols and assault rifles strewed on the ground with some munitions …show more content…
The soldiers reacted quickly and fended off the settlement with ease so we did not get up because we wanted to conserve ammo for what was to come. Finally, the orders came and we boarded the plane so we could get closer to the capital. The plane lifted from the ground and quickly carried us to a small farm field shadowed by the abandoned skyscrapers and crumbled houses. We quickly jumped from the planes to make sure we do not disturb the surrounding area and ran into the woods to start our approach to the capital so we could capture information and pictures of what is happening in the capital. We quickly moved through the woods and into the outskirts of the capital where we saw soldiers bustling carrying supplies or fixing broken things that were laid out under a large tent. We started to film the base and once we got enough pictures we moved into the capital itself with great caution so we could avoid as many soldiers as possible and kill only a few of whom would get in our way. Once we got to one of the many crumbling skyscrapers we ducked into it and hid in the shadows so we could learn more of what is happening. After days of avoiding detection and spying, we finally got information on a missile silo which still contained many nukes. We hoped that the coordinates would be revealed alongside what was already revealed but sadly the location remained hidden somewhere in United Asia. We, of course, reacted quickly and started to think of a plan to find and destroy these

    The United States Army Air Defense Artillery had small but important roles in the Korean War. Although most the units were filling non-Air Defense roles, there are a few that set themselves above and beyond their sister units due to their actions. These units fulfilling roles other than air defense were using the M19 Multiple Gun Motor Carriage, which was a self-propelled anti-aircraft weapon. This weapon was based upon the M5 light tank chassis, but modified to fulfill the air defense role. It was then utilized as indirect and direct fire against enemy troops, vehicles and fortifications.…

    This included the rogues, the beast men, the automated gun turrets, and the security systems. Once the four floors of Base 113 were secured, the Adelburgers then began their cleanup.

    Our soldiers had their heads held high and they were all so excited for the battle, but the first experience of trench warfare had brought horror upon all of us. The first sight of the trenches showed that they were in the worst conditions and didn’t give privacy. The officers had told us that these “ditches” were going to remain as our homes for the rest of the war. These “worse” conditions were proved as we remained in the trenches for numerous days. It was the home where we were going to live, eat, hopefully stay safe and the place where you would find a corner to do your business.…

    An officer ran down the trench, pushing men to their feet, directing them to the craters. James nodded, clambering up the steep and slippery trench. The German trenches weren’t even visible; they would be able to gain a position without being seen. “I need you to stay here,” the officer shouted, pulling Matthias back. Matthias swore, nodding to James to keep going.…

    She was one of the girliest girls I knew since grade school, with her stylish culottes and pink garments of all different shades for all different occasions. She was the epitome of a mixture between pure innocence and quirk that boldly took her rightful place in the middle of my heart. Mary Anne wasn’t just all of that; she was also my affectionate girlfriend, my warm-hearted best friend who I could talk about anything with, from the most trivial things to the very meaning of our whole existence. At the time, all I could feel was the absolute joy that I got from spending my time with her. We had our entire happiness in the future planned out, a dream wedding and all, but maybe that was the reason why I wouldn’t have ever imagined that I would be feeling so lost and empty just a few years later, alone and missing a part of myself.…

    The flight to Panama was long and bumping as I flew aboard a C-141, this aircraft is no longer in service. As I departed the aircraft, I was met by oppressive heat and humidity. As I looked around my new surroundings, I could not help but think that it looked as if someone had laid a giant green carpet over the landscape. It was definitely the most beautiful country that I had seen and, in my opinion it still is. The tarmac was busy with all kinds of activity going on.…

    Their archers fired back, and they finally got their trebuchets and ballistas into place. They began to hurdle huge rocks at us. Some rocks hit the wall while other boulders hit the main town. There was panic and terror all across, but the attackers were losing a large quantity of their troops to our arrows. Later, they moved in with their siege towers, ladders, and battering rams.…

    The Vietnam War 1.)The statement of ,“The war can’t be won unless the people support it”, is an invalid statement. It appears so that some of the people in America have not supported any war that their military have been involved in, but does that mean that the United States have not won? When one acts upon something without support it does in fact make it harder for them and the situation entirely but do people not succeed? The support of the war helps because then the “war effort” is greater, the supplies provided for the troops is greater, and the probability of winning is in fact greater as well.…
